Has any scholar authenticated Ibn Majah's Hadith from Jabir ibn Abdullah, which states: "Umm Sulayman ibn Dawud said to Sulayman: 'O my son, do not sleep excessively at night, for excessive sleep at night leaves a man poor on the Day of Resurrection'" given that Sheikh Al-Albani graded it as weak?

The aforementioned hadith was narrated by Ibn Majah, and its chain of transmission (sanad) is weak due to the weakness of Sunayd and Yusuf ibn Muhammad. It has been declared weak by many imams such as Al-Uqayli, Ibn Hibban, Ibn al-Qaysarani, Ibn al-Jawzi, and Al-Busiri. While Al-Suyuti stated that the hadith is weak but not fabricated, according to Al-Nasa'i, and sound (hasan) according to Abu Zur'ah and Ibn 'Adi.
